Description

Consolidate duplicate URLs says that Google Search prefers HTTPS. It looks like the audit already has the ability to flag specific issues. I'd be willing to take a stab at this and contribute my first true code to the repo, if y'all think this is worthwhile.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the current audit code for duplicate URLs. Locate the existing canonical link checks in the Lighthouse audit definitions. Add a recommendation to prefer HTTPS for canonical URLs. Reference Google's documentation on consolidating duplicate URLs. Consider extending an existing audit or creating a new one.
